Can I be forced to work for less than the minimum wage in California? No.

What if I get paid tips too? Can my boss use that amount as credit toward
the minimum wages? No. Whether you work at a restaurant, hair salon, nail salon, car wash,
or any other business where tips are given, your employer cannot use your
tips as a credit toward its obligation to pay you the minimum wage.

What if my employer retaliated against me because I questioned him about
not being paid the minimum wage? If your employer discriminates or retaliates against you (such as by terminating
or demoting you) because you questioned them about not being paid the
minimum wage or because you filed or threatened to file a claim with the
Labor Commissioner, then you can file a discrimination and retaliation lawsuit.
